LOVE At First Sight

Quatre

Hindi makapaniwala si Tiffany nang maglabas si Alexander ng limang credit card mula sa wallet nito at isa-isang iniabot kay Vincien, Owen, Zach, Vaughn at Marco.

Well this kids at heart decided to play a game. At kung sino daw ang taya, ito ang manlilibre sa kanilang lahat. And they're freaking twenty people!

Pero habang tinitignan ni Tiffany ang mga hawak ng mga kalalakihan na black card ni Alexander, mas lalo tuloy syang napaisip. He used to say that he's just a nobody but here he is, lending his credit card to his friends. Just lending. And take note, 5 credit cards. Dinaig pa sya na walang credit card.

Yes. Wala syang credit card dahil ayaw nyang magkaroon noon kahit kailan. Ayaw nyang dumating sa punto na palagi syang uutang at palaging laman ng mall. So she just settled with having a debit card kung saan naroon lahat ng ipon nya magmula pa noong nagtrabaho sya dati sa Spain.

But by just looking at Alexander, parang wala lang ito sa kanya na naglabas ito ng limang credit card at ipinahiram lang. Ayaw nyang mag-isip ng kung ano tungkol kay Alexander kaya't minabuti nalang nyang manahimik hanggang sa makalabas sila sa Hotel.

Maya-maya pa ay binulungan sya ni Kristene. "Kay Alexander ka tumabi. And by the way, I'm rooting for you!" Kristene said then winked at her.

"Of course Kristene!" Dahil 'yon naman talaga ang plano nya. Akitin— kulitin si Alexander, she mean.

At nang makita nyang pumasok na si Alexander sa loob ng double decker bus, agad nya itong sinundan pero napatigil ito sa gitna kaya't sumalpok sya sa likod nito.

"Are you following me?" Alexander asked with an irritated look on his face.

She nodded. "Yep I am."

"Tss." Tanging sambit ni Alexander bago ito nagtuloy sa dulong upuan sa ibaba.

Napasimangot nalang sya dahil pakiramdam nya, sinusungitan sya ni Alexander ngayon. Ano bang nagawa nya dito?

Agad nya itong nilapitan at tumabi rin sya dito kaagad.

"Alexander." She called but no response from him. He's just looking outside of the window.

"Alexander!"

Still no response.

"Isa Alexander makikita mo hahalikan kita ngayon."

Alexander stilled for a couple of seconds before he turned to her with an emotionless face. "What now?"

"Bakit ang sungit mo?" Nakanguso nyang tanong.

"I'm not."

"You are."

Then Alexander sighed. "Why don't you just get away from me? Just for now? Ayoko lang ng may istorbo please lang. Pwede Tiffany? Kahit ngayon lang."

Frowning, Tiffany looked at him intently in the eyes before she nodded. "Okay. If that's what you want."

Then Tiffany moved to the other side of the bus. "Is this okay?"

Alexander looked at her in amusement like he can't believe on what she did. "Seriously?"

"Yeah. I won't bother you don't worry. And I did get away from you. See this distance?"

Once again, Alexander sighed in disbelief. He was about to stand up when he heard Tiffany spoke in a commanding voice. "Don't you dare walk out on me Alexander Ellis Amarante. Stay where you are. I won't bother you and I won't talk to you. But don't go anywhere you shithead."

At hindi alam ni Alexander kung bakit hindi nya nagawang tumayo at napaayos nalang ng upo habang nakatingin sa labas ng bintana. Just by hearing this woman's voice made him shut his mouth.
